Central Values of GL(2)\times GL(3) Rankin-Selberg L-functions with Applications

Abstract: Let

f

be a normalized holomorphic cusp form for

S L_{2} (m a t h b b Z)

of weight

k

with

. By the Kuznetsov trace formula for

G L_{3} (m a t h b b R)

, we obtain the first moment of central values of

L (s, f o t i m e s p h i)

, where

p h i

varies over Hecke-Maass cusp forms for

S L_{3} (m a t h b b Z)

. As an application, we obtain a non-vanishing result for

L (1 / 2, f o t i m e s p h i)

and show that such

f

is determined by

L (1 / 2, f o t i m e s p h i)

as

p h i

varies.
